Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 141 Three Bowls of White Noodles
Lao Zhang sat in the workshop and didn't do anything until the factory's bell rang to get off work in the afternoon.

Xu Qing knew that the master was training him, so he had no complaints.

Hearing the off-duty bell, Xu Qing didn't stop. He was still working on the unfinished parts in his hands. The work was not finished, so he couldn't leave it until tomorrow because he was off work.

Of course, it's okay to come early tomorrow morning and continue working.

But this is not Xu Qing's style of doing things.

Lao Zhang saw this and nodded secretly, feeling quite pleased in his heart.

He likes his apprentice's attitude in doing things.

A man needs to be like a man, every spit and every nail, and everything he does has a beginning and an end, this is the man who stands upright!

Er Mazi, Wang Dequan, Zhou Pingtai had already finished work, and saw that Xu Qing was still busy.

With a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, Er Mazi walked up to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, I'm off work, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lao Zhang raised his hand and pulled Er Mazi aside.

"Er Mazi, you bastard, go ahead. If you have to get off work, leave quickly and don't get in the way."

Seeing Er Mazi being scolded, Wang Dequan immediately put his arms around Er Mazi, and made fun of him as he walked out of the workshop:

"You kid is just looking for scolding. I didn't see that Xu Qing was busy. You, you don't have any eyesight at all. You should!"

Er Mazi turned his head and gave Wang Dequan a blank look. Standing at the door of the workshop, he snatched back the cigarette that Wang Dequan had just taken out, and put it in his own mouth.

In the workshop, Lao Zhang stood beside the clamp table, waiting for Xu Qing to finish his work.

After seeing the parts that Xu Qing had just finished, Lao Zhang squeezed his hands, looked at them carefully for a moment, and said with satisfaction:

"That's it, brat, no matter what you do in the future, don't be frizzy, you have to be calm to do great things."

Xu Qing nodded and hummed, took off his gloves, and then went out of the workshop with his master, Lao Zhang, and walked towards the gate of the factory.

At this time, outside the factory gate, Shazhu, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong were walking back to the compound along the street.

When Sha Zhu got off work, he didn't see Xu Qing in the crowd, and he and Qin Huairu were still waiting at the factory gate for a while.

But before he could wait, he left first with Yi Zhonghai and the others.

As for Xu Damao, he was busy with his own business outside. As soon as the bell rang in the factory, he would ride his bicycle and leave first.

Therefore, Xu Qing walked back along the street to the courtyard alone.

There are many people on the street, bustling and hurried. The small vendors on the roadside take advantage of the large number of people and shout loudly about their business.

Xu Qing took a look and felt that the life of these years was not much different from that of later generations.

That is, the economy is backward and life is difficult.

But the essence is the same!

Everyone is running for a better life and fighting for happiness tomorrow.

Xu Qing let out a breath and turned to look at the trees planted on both sides of the road and the red slogans on the wall. The thoughts in his heart were inexplicably complicated.

It's hard to say, but it's like it's stuck in your throat.

Looking up at the blue sky and the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky, all the complicated thoughts suddenly disappeared automatically.

This is the early spring of 63, 63 years without a trace of smog, 63 years without a trace of traffic jams.

Everything is still in its infancy, like trees that have just experienced a cold winter, ready to sprout.

Perhaps because he was alone, Xu Qing walked very quickly. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he caught up with the four silly Zhu who were chatting all the way.

Silly Zhu turned his head and saw Xu Qing, stopped immediately and grinned:
"Qingzi, what are you doing after get off work? Sister Qin and I thought you had returned to the hospital early."

Xu Qing walked forward in two steps and said, "Hey, no, Brother Silly Zhu, when I got off work, I had a part to finish, so I stayed in the workshop for a while."

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Qing with a smile on his face. Although he didn't say anything, the emotion in his eyes was obviously happy that Xu Qing was in the newspaper today.

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Qing with joy in his eyes. After all, Xu Qing lived with him in the backyard. Speaking of which, the relationship between him, the backyard steward, and Xu Qing's family was closer than that between the front yard and the middle yard.

Yi Zhonghai's face did not change at all. If there was any change, it was because he had miscalculated.

After all, he didn't expect Xu Qing to report to the newspaper.

After the five of them returned to the compound together, Sha Zhu went to the third master in the front yard and publicized the news about Xu Qing's publication today.

Sha Zhu thought that the third master didn't know.

But Yan Bugui actually saw it through the newspaper at school in the morning.

"Silly Zhu, I am a teacher, can I not read the newspaper?"

Yan Bugui's words made Silly Zhu suddenly feel embarrassed.

But Sha Zhu didn't care, he stretched out his hand to pat Xu Qing, and continued to Yan Bugui: "Third Master, Qingzi can do it, he reported it today, he is considered famous in our Forty-Nine City."

Yan Bugui chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Although people who don’t know Xu Qing may read the newspaper and think nothing of it, they are at most curious.

But for the people in the compound, this is a happy thing.

When Xu Qingyi returned to his home in the backyard.

The little girl and her third brother Xu Fengming ran to Xu Qing and said:
"Brother, third master brought a bowl of white noodles to our family before you came back in the afternoon."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, before he had time to figure out what was going on.

The second aunt held a large enamel bowl in her hands and walked in. There was also white flour in the bowl.

"Xiaoqing, I heard from your second uncle that you were in the newspaper today, and the aunt's house doesn't have much good stuff, so I'll bring you a bowl of white noodles."

Xu Qing quickly declined and said: "Second aunt, what are you doing? Please take it back to your room as soon as possible."

The second aunt smiled and said: "Xiaoqing, you are promising, aunt and your second uncle are not happy, a bowl of white noodles, be obedient, take it!"

Xu Qing finally understood what the third uncle meant, and he was probably similar to the second aunt.

While talking, Da Ma came over with a bowl of white noodles.

Xu Qing guessed the purpose of Auntie's visit without even thinking about it.

They feel that they have been in the newspaper, and if they become famous in the future, they can think about how good today is and help them when the time comes.

Xu Qing can understand human nature.

Therefore, there was no further refusal.

After thanking the first aunt and the second aunt respectively, he asked the little girl and Xu Fengming to take the white noodles.

Three bowls of white flour is not too much, but in this year of food shortage, it cannot be said to be too little.

Mainly it's a matter of friendship.

If Xu Qing didn't have any skills, let alone white noodles, he might not be able to drink a bowl of plain water.

But the problem is that Xu Qing is different from other people even if he is in the newspaper.

No matter what the reason for going up there, people's mentality is completely different immediately.

The first aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt may not understand it, but the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle, the three stewards of the courtyard, know it very well in their hearts.

Xu Qing was published in the newspaper, and for the factory, it became a "living signboard" in publicity.

Although there was no movement in the factory today, according to the experience of the first and second uncles working in the factory for decades, the factory will more or less take care of and support Xu Qing in the future.

They can't say exactly how, but they can be sure that nothing happened in the factory.

Xu Qing, after greeting the first and second aunts for a while and sending them away, stood alone in the kitchen, looking at the white noodles brought by the three uncles in the courtyard, and vaguely figured out something in his mind.
